~ An order has been issued by Supt
Gwin, of the Railway Neil Service at Gin
cinnati, instructing postal clerks not to re-
ceive any mail at Bradner except such as
comes through the postoffice in the regular
way. The Republican ex-postmaster and
several others at that place have been max
ing asses of themselves ever sinceMr. Steph-
ems was appointed to the Office, mailing
their letters on the trains to beat him out of
his commission on stamps cancelled. But
now they must use their postoffice Or go with
out mail, just as they may elect. Their game
is stopped. and effectually too, and all the
kicking they may do now only makes them
appear more idiotic; it will accomplish moth
ing else, and neither will the petitions they

Fire Apparatus Burnt Up in Deshler.

tFrom the FlAg.l
Early on Wednesday morning our village
again sustained a heavy loss from fire and
what was once the pride of our citizens, and
proved so effective in checking the fiery
element on numerous occasions, became an
easy victim of its ruthless distinction
namely the entire equipment of the Deshler
fire department, consisting of Mansfield
! steam fire engine, hose cart, hook and lad
der truck, fully equipped, hose and all the
other appurtenances that go to make up a
tirstclass outfit, entailing a loss of $4,000,
without bit of insurance.
AT about four O'Clock the factory whistles
gave the fire alarm and such of our people
who were awakened promptly responded and
on arriving at the scene-a frame bull ding
in the rear of John Vogt's old store building
found themselves handicapped, because
the instruments that were needed to FIGHT
the fiery fiend were already being consumed.
As soon as an opening was made in the build
ing the fame bursted forth and drove back
and batfied every effort of those who made
any attempt to enter the building. By the
time the community had been thoroughly
aroused the building was seething devour
ing mass of flame, and all that ould be done,
under the circumstances, was to let it burn,
and make an effort to save the adjoining
property of Hiram Cole, R. P. Greer's livery
stable and others, in which the firemen sue
ceeded. In an hour after the alarm the
flames had subsidized but its destruction was
complete, for nothing but the smouldering
ashes and the iron work of the engine left,
which was only left to ornament the scrap
iron pile of some iron works. The loss is a
severe one for our community.
How the fire originated is merely matter
of conjecture, and we don't think any mem
Der of the fire department is to bear any
blame. The previous evening the Hose Co.
held its meeting in the building and it is to
be presumed they left everything in good
shape for the night, as they have done on
numerous occasions heretofore. IT'S true,
there were gasoline lamps burning under the |
boiler of the engine, which has been the case
all winter, and from the manner in which |
they were arranged the fire could not have
originated from them. We do not deem it |
necessary to express an opinion. The disas-
ter came upon us in an unaccountable man
ner, and now the best thing to do is to bear
the burden and make an effort to replace the
hre apparatus as soon as possible. Council
has already made move in the right direc-
ton.

n The last report of the Bureau of
Statistics shows how largely our exports of
wheat crop this year have exceeded those of
last year. The quantity of wheat exported
in January was S,056,661 bushels, against
only 4,O1S, ,SOS bushels in January, 1886. For
the seven months ending January 3lst the
quantity was in round numbers So, 600
bushels, while for the corresponding seven
months of the preceding year it was only
24,5OO,OOO bushels. Counting -four reduced
to wheat the exports in both forms during
the seven months ending January 3lst, 1887,
was S9,45O,319 bushels. In the correspond
ing months of the preceding year the
quantity was 44,976,5O2. In other words,
for seven months we have been exporting
wheat (including four) at the rate of 1885,
000, 900 bushels year. t'.

tY- The election which takes place in
Rhode Island on April 9th, is expected to be
one of the closest and most exciting which
has occurred in that State within dozen
years past. A full list of State officers and
members of the Legislature will be chosen,
and an attempt will be made to bring about
a revision of the Constitution by the elimina-
tion of the property qualification for voters.
The contest has an interest for persons out
side the State chiefly because member of
Congress will be voted for at that time. In
the contest on November I'd last no candi-
date got clear majority of all the votes cast
for that Office, therefore, according to the
State law, there was no choice. This is the
only member of the House of Representa-
tives of the Fiftieth Congress who is yet to be
chosen.

The Pension Vetn.
from the Philadelphia Record. |

lrrom tne Philadelphia Record
There are soldiers who do not like the
pension veto. A presumable soldier, who
does not sign his name to his letter, writes
as follows:
Ed. OF THE RECORDS:
You seem to rejoice over the veto of the
pension bill'' and fatter yourself that the
soldiers will also agree with you in your
hilarity over their own defeat, but you will
find yourself greatly mistaken in short
time when they are heard from. Mr.. Cleve-
land could have been guilty of no meaner
act in his public administration of affairs. 1
suppose he, like yourself, would be willing
to have such law, after the Union soldiers
had all gone from this world save acorporaTs
guard, and then deal out a few dollars to
these few, as they now do to the Mexican
soldiers. Shame on the men who would
deny these poor men the paltry sum of few
dollars month upon the ground of economy
or because there are too many of them! The
bill is only delayed. Come it will: if not
over Cleveland's head, it will be signed bv
another President who has sympathy for the
defenders of this country. A SOLDIER.
Oxford, Pa, Feb. IL, 1887.
No other country, grateful for the military
service of its sons, ever paid so much to re-
lieve their distress and reward their labors
as the United States have done. But the
country cannot swamp itself to save itself.
The soldiers do not desire it, no matter what
a few may say. The foremost soldier of all
General Grant-vetoed the bill to equalize
bounties, which was much less radical
measure than the INDECENT Pensions bill.
Grant spoke for his comrades.

with an expression of horror, that "twenty-
three ex-Confederates and only three Union
soldiers will be members of the U. s. SEN
ate, after the 4th of March ensuing, the Chi
cago Times pertinently inquiries: "If the
Republican party wants union soldiers in the
Senate why doesn't it elect them? Three
union soldiers in the Senate from the eigh-
teen States that gave Republican majority
in 1884 is not very good showing for
party that pretends to idolize the soldier

- Some evil minded nersnns in Harrison

~ Some evil minded persons in Harrison
township are circulating reports to the effect
that the books of the Democratic township
Clerk, Isaac NJ. Click, are crooked. Mr.
Click is not a man of that stripe and he
courts an inspection of his books. They are
open to anybody, foe or friend. He is a very
careful and painsta king official, and prides
himself on keeping his hooks posted, and is
not ashamed to have them examined by any
body. The citizens of Harrison township
would do well by re-electing him this spring.
